Current GECCO cohorts
A list of cohort studies that are currently part of GECCO is shown in the Table further down. By clicking on the cohort names you can download the meta-data sheet with information on the measurement rounds, study population and available variables.
In the course of the project these cohorts will be enriched with a wide variety of environmental data. A more extensive overview of cohort variables and measures that are available (meta-data), for all time points will be provided here in the future.
Requesting access to cohort data can be done through the cohort-specific contact points. These can be found on the designated cohort websites listed in the Table below.
A list of currently available environmental variables can be found here.
